XSD namespace problem with xml configuration file?

[fbcyborg]

Hello,

I have some problem writing the xml configuration file for my spring batch test application.
This is the xml file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans" 
		xmlns:batch="http://www.springframework.org/schema/batch"	
		xmlns:aop="http://www.springframework.org/schema/aop"
		xmlns:tx="http://www.springframework.org/schema/tx"
		xmlns:p="http://www.springframework.org/schema/p"
		xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
		xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-2.5.xsd
			http://www.springframework.org/schema/batch http://www.springframework.org/schema/batch/spring-batch-2.1.xsd
			http://www.springframework.org/schema/aop http://www.springframework.org/schema/aop/spring-aop-2.5.xsd
			http://www.springframework.org/schema/tx http://www.springframework.org/schema/tx/spring-tx-2.5.xsd">
 
	<import resource="MEMORY-JOBREPOSITORY.xml"/>  
	<!--<import resource="DB-JOBREPOSITORY.xml"/> -->
	 
	<bean id="tasklet1" class="com.springbatch.test.Tasklet1"/>
	
	<bean id="tasklet2" class="com.springbatch.test.Tasklet2"/>
	
	<bean id="parameter" class="com.springbatch.test.Parameter" />
	
	<bean id="promotionListener" class="org.springframework.batch.core.listener.ExecutionContextPromotionListener">
		<property name="keys" value="keyValue" />
	</bean>
	
	<job id="passingParametersJob" job-repository="jobRepository">
		<step id="step1" next="step2">
			<tasklet ref="tasklet1" transaction-manager="jobRepository-transactionManager">
				<listeners>
					<listener ref="promotionListener"/>
				</listeners>
			</tasklet>
		</step>  
		  	
		<step id="step2">
			<tasklet ref="tasklet2" transaction-manager="jobRepository-transactionManager" />
		</step>
		
	</job> 
</beans>

The problem is that I receive the following message:

cvc-complex-type.2.4.a: A content starting with element 'job' has been detected. One of the following is expected: '{"http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans":import, "http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans":alias, "http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans":bean, WC[##other:"http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"]}'.

I don't understand if there is some XSD I am missing in the XML header or not.

Anyway, if I write the <job> section as it follows, the error is not going to be shown:

<batch:job id="passingParametersJob" job-repository="jobRepository">
	<batch:step id="step1" next="step2">
		<batch:tasklet ref="tasklet1" transaction-manager="jobRepository-transactionManager">
			<batch:listeners>
				<batch:listener ref="promotionListener"/>
			</batch:listeners>
		</batch:tasklet>
	</batch:step>  
	  	
	<batch:step id="step2">
		<batch:tasklet ref="tasklet2" transaction-manager="jobRepository-transactionManager" />
	</batch:step>
		
</batch:job>

What to do in order to be not obliged to use the batch: namespace before tags in the job section?

I suggest a read up on xml and xsd and how they work together...

<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans" 
		xmlns:batch="http://www.springframework.org/schema/batch"

Currently your beans namespace is the root namespace (red) and not batch, so to be able to use job you have to prefix it with batch:. Now you can switch to the batch namespace however then you have to write beans:bean because you can only have a single root namespace.

<batch xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/batch" 
		xmlns:beans="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"

To switch the namespace, make sure to include the beans namespace somewhere and prefix bean, property and import with beans: .

Best tutorial about XSD my friend: http://www.w3schools.com/schema/default.asp

Thanks for replying.
So, as far as I understand, since I can only have only one root namespace, the problem is not resolvable, because if I change root namespace I will have the same problem with the beans namespace where I would have to use "beans:" before beans tags.


Bythe way: thanks traduz, I will see that.

Now answering your question, use like this:

<job id="sBatchRenewJob" xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/batch">

My root namespace

xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"

and work without a problem.

Thanks a lot!
Understood!

It works to me too.
